It’s hard to keep up with all the recent changes to labor and employment law, especially since the law always seems to evolve at a rapid pace. To ensure you stay on top of the latest changes and have an action plan for compliance, here is a quick review of some recent critical developments we tracked and a checklist of the essential items you should consider addressing in July and beyond.
| _____ | Complete your mid-year compliance check. Sorry to start the checklist with another checklist – but did you know that a heap of new workplace laws take effect halfway through the year? Here’s your employer cheat sheet to ensure you’re complying with various July 1 effective dates. |
| _____ | Assess the impact of new SCOTUS rulings. As the Supreme Court’s 2024-2025 term ends, the Justices issued some key decisions in June that will affect the workplace. They scrapped the extra hurdle in majority-group bias claims, significantly restricted who can succeed on post-employment ADA disability discrimination claims, and ruled that federal courts lack the authority to issue universal injunctions. |

The US Department of Labor just relaunched and significantly expanded its opinion letter program on June 2, offering employers a direct line to legal interpretations of federal laws on wage and hour, workplace safety, and more. Here’s what the new program includes, why it matters, and how your organization can benefit right away. |
